7 creative presentation ideas

What is the first thing that we want to achieve with creative presentations? We want to grab our audience's attention and retain that attention throughout the whole presentation.

Not sure how to do that? Here are 7 ideas to get you and your audience inspired:

1. Explore the world of video presentations

We aren't talking about simply downloading your PowerPoint templates in a video format, but creating videos from scratch with no filming equipment or editing experience.

Synthesia features a PowerPoint to video function, which allows you to upload your PowerPoint slides, add and edit dynamic elements, and include an AI video presenter with a text-to-speech function.

We guarantee you haven't seen that technology before!

2. Try a black background... or pink, or red, or green, whatever you feel

White backgrounds are the industry standard, but even a simple switch to black instantly changes the mood and feel of all the slides.

Even still, we tend to gravitate towards neutral colors in presentations to play it safe, but playing it safe is overrated. Excite your audience with bold and bright slides, and you will definitely make an impression!

3. Or switch a background color for an image

An even bolder statement is to use a photo in the background, to break up the sameness of text blocks.

Of course, you have to make sure the photo is relevant to the presentation topic and is visually harmonious with the rest of the slide.

4. Create your slides with AI technology

Making PowerPoints, even with a pre-made creative free template, can be a tedious process. Use tools like Synthesia that leverage AI technology to create slides from text in minutes.

5. Browse creative presentation templates and make them your own

Many presentation makers, like PowerPoint or Google Slides, offer an extensive library of creative presentation templates. But if you choose one of the popular templates, there's a high chance that so have thousands of other people.

If you plan on sharing your PowerPoint slides with the public, it won't look as creative anymore if there are ten other examples of the same template out there.

So, you should absolutely use presentation templates, but make them customized. Start editing the free template to make it fun.

For example, you can change the slide color scheme, the background of the template, the placement of text boxes and elements, and anything else that you can move or change on the slides.

Don't be afraid of playing around with the free template to make it truly unique.

6. Include music in your slides to activate auditory senses

Presentations are inherently visual, but that doesn't mean you can't (or shouldn't) activate other senses for a more immersive experience for your audience. Add background music to your slides that complements the visuals well.

Make sure to not make it too loud, though, or it might distract the audience from your slides.

7. Make static elements dynamic

Moving objects attract more attention than static ones.

Exchange photos for videos, add animations to graphic elements, make your graphs move as you speak, and add motion to details to make them pop.
